I'm a 56 yo Air Force retiree who was subjected to an avalanche of snow and ice sliding from a hangar roof back about 1993.  They say if I had looked up, it would have snapped my neck, but instead that accident left me feeling like my head was being pounded into my shoulders, causing traumatic arthritis in my neck.  Traction, Chiropractic, Ultrasound, all did little to help.  I met Dee through our mutual interest in Reiki and Healing Therapies.  She used Trigger Point on my neck and upper back, and after only 2 sessions my neck has been looser and virtually painless.  This is the first time, since 1993, that I have full movement of my neck without any pain. It has been 17years!  I never thought I would live without the pain.  It’s amazing.  I still have a few treatments to go, but it's a joy not having to turn my whole body to glace to the side.  Thanks, Dee  Jerry B.

I have been seeing Dee for about 10 years now.  She knows how to deal with the fibromyalgia.  I've lived with pain all my life, even as a teenager. Whenever I am feeling run down, I make an appointment to come in.  Sometimes, she knows more about what is bothering me than I do.  I always feel much better, and I know I don't have to stay in pain like I used to.  She does far more than any other massage therapist has done for me. I even feel like I don't get colds and the flu like I used to.  And as time goes by, I feel better from year to year.  She even put me in contact with other professionals in the medical field that have done well with my situation.  Sometimes I feel like the rest of the medical community just wants to give me pills, but when I go to Dee, she listens to the whole situation and helps  me to understand what is going on in my whole body. I wish all health care professionals were like her, but I understand that they are too busy to educate everyone.  Sandy D.

Five years ago I was involved in a car accident. I went to the Emergency Room where I had X-Rays done on my neck and back. After reviewing the X-Rays, the doctor told me that everything was normal, prescribed some muscle relaxers and sent me for two weeks of physical therapy. Since the night of the car accident I have had increasingly painful neck and head pain. The pain was constant and severe, but my doctor told me nothing could be done and that it would only get worse with age.

I had heard from several people how good Dee was and so finally I set up an appointment. Since my first session my pain level has decreased from an 8 to a 2. She set me up with a chiropractor who discovered from those same X-Rays done at the ER that I did sustain an injury to my skull and cervical-Spine. For the first time in five years I am almost pain free. Jackie S.

Several years ago I suffered a brachial plexus injury in a motor vehicle accident. Treatment consisted of physical therapy with my arm and working through the pain. I was doing well until 2-3 years ago when I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

The pain was temporarily relieved with medication, but always returned. Instead of surgery I opted for alternative treatment. I chose acupuncture and felt it would "cure me". The pain was alleviated for a short amount of time, but the treatment became too painful as well as too costly. I expected the acupuncture experience to be the answer, but it wasn't.

I had researched acupressure and during that time I received Dee's newsletter regarding CTS and myofascial pain. Her description was exactly what I was experiencing. I knew I had to find some relief, so I gave it a try. I just completed my third session and the pain has decreased from a level of  6 to 1 or 2.

I have been to several massage therapists in the past several years ( just for the fun of it) and have experienced many different techniques. Dee is unique. Her techniques are different from any that I have experienced in the past. She does a FULL 1 hour session - not 50 minutes like many places. The cost is more than 50% less than acupuncture.

The amazing thing is that I found her by accident. I noticed that she was on the list from my health insurance provider. I sent her an e-mail with some questions which she answered promptly. Several months went by before I considered making an appt. During that time my pain increased dramatically. Because of my inquiry to Dee, she sent me a newsletter. That made my decision to make an appt and give massage a try. It's so much more than massage. This has been a very positive experience. Linda M.

Due to pain in my left leg, I was having difficulty walking and climbing the steps. After many visits to the chiropractor, the problem was partially relieved. At this point, the Dr. recommended that I see a massage therapist to have some deep tissue work done. I had never had a massage and was a bit apprehensive about the procedure.

Dee put me at ease immediately. She encouraged communication so she could assure that I received the correct amount of deep tissue work. As a result I can walk with a brisk gait and climb the stairs without pain. I now have massages on a regular basis and feel more relaxed in body and mind.

I highly recommend adding this holistic procedure to your life as it results in an overall feeling of well-being. Judy B.

I have had been dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome for many months, and just thought that I had to live with it. I own my own construction/snow-removal business, so I stay very busy, and I don't let anything slow me down. I didn't want surgery, so I didn't go to the doctor. I have a brace, but it got in the way at work and I rarely used it at night, I just put up with the pain.

I received a discount flyer from a friend, and it said that Medical Massage Therapy works for CTS. I gave it a try, and in just 3 sessions, the frequent flair-ups and night-time pain have gone. I'd said that I'm 97% cured! What a relief. Now I look forward to a session once every three weeks for whole body preventative maintenance. Therapeutic massage takes care of any injuries or problems that have happened, and gets me primed for the weeks ahead. It also reduces my stress level.  Robert M.

Massage - something that I thought was for over-stressed old businessmen or for a pampered wife. It is a word with new meaning since I met Dee and was introduced to Medical Therapeutic Massage. It was as though someone had set us up to meet, but neither of us knew it.

The next thing I knew I was on her table! Three appointments later the terrible pain in my head was gone. I had an impact injury to my head about 2 years ago. I go to an excellent chiropractor, but that was not getting rid of the pain. I felt like the bones in my head were pushed out of place, but they were not releasing. I believe the massage relaxed the muscles and with the aid of the chiropractor everything just fell into place.

Now I know massage is not like getting your nails done. It is a serious wellness business and can have amazing health results. Elsie H.

About a year and a half ago I was operated on my left foot due to a painful bunion. Within the past six weeks, a large callous developed on the bottom of my foot. I was in daily pain and in fear of having to undergo more surgery. One day a friend told me about Medical Therapeutic Massage. Following her advice, I made an appointment, and Dee began to do trigger point therapy for six sessions.

Now, the callous is gone, I have very little pain (only after an unusually long day), and I feel like I have a brand new foot. She also recommended a chiropractor, and I went and got inserts for my shoes. What a difference that made too! I'm so happy that I can walk barefoot again without any pain and I know that I don't need surgery again.

I continue to see Dee when I'm in pain or under a lot of stress.  It's a part of my life, and without it, I'm sure I would be on a lot more medications.
